I’m with Freud, Inception was frightfully dull – it set up a glorious premise and then decided all it wanted to do with that was recreate a Bond movie. But this time the guards are imaginary! Right, okay.

The visuals were glorious though, all those oranges and browns, felt like a movie set in a Jaffa Cake (in a good way).

I won’t debate with you about your opinion vs. my opinion on a film but, compared to most of the tripe that comes out in the cinema these days, Inception deserves a little better than being called “Frightfully Dull”. It may not have been as clever as it believed itself to be and it may not have been to your tastes, but it was anything but dull.

I really wish I could play Psychonauts again. I do own it, but I’m one of those unlucky people with just the right combination of hardware (I think it was primarily my ATI card) that means it’s glitched to unplayable. Sniff. Great video, though.

Yeah, a real shame that it got so nasty-platformy all of a sudden. But it’s worth looking at walkthroughs to learn every trick in the book for that level – if you need to – in order to get to the juicy ending.

Just to clarify – AMD Phenom II quad, XP 64, 2 Crossfired 512MB Radeon 4870s. It’s been a while, I can’t remember precisely what the errors were… though I seem to recall things simply freezing up, the game continuing in the background but with the screen locked in place. Definitely serious enough graphics glitches I couldn’t carry on playing, and when I Googled it the general consensus seemed to be ‘Yeah, a few PCs do this, but there’s no way it’s ever getting fixed at this point’.

Not the end of the world, I beat it back on the original XBox, the PC version only cost me a pound. Still. Frustrating. :(

Oh I will replay it again, no videos of the ending can get me that closure. Psychonauts was absolutely awesome throughout and every time I get reminded of the Milkman Conspiracy or some other lunacy I start looking maniacally around for my copy of the game.

I think it’s ok to watch – nothing spoilery, and most is short and taken out of context to match Inception so even if there is something important there you won’t recognize it till you see it.

And put Psychonauts on top of your list man! The dig and Penumbra are interesting games but this is A TIM SCHAFER GAME that trumps them all. I guarantee you – you won’t forget the Milkman Conspiracy. :)

The Milkman level was clearly the best in concept, though some of the puzzles in the level fell a bit flat. The shadowy secret agents made it all worth it though. “HELLO FELLOW ROAD CREW MEMBER! WELCOME TO THE ROAD CREW!”
